Very nice dock for docking your boat with electric on the shore next to the dock. House could have been a little cleaner. HVAC return was very dirty and the ceiling fan over the table was also very dirty. Had a great time and would consider renting again. ##### Brian D. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian C. 28 Jun 2025 #### Great lake house, even better view. We had a wonderful stay—this home met all our needs and more! It’s spacious, with generously sized rooms, and the layout offers quiet, private bedrooms, which we really appreciated. The kitchen was great to cook in, with plenty of counter space. I cooked dinner every night and felt totally at home. There’s also a nice grill on the deck, which we used often. The outdoor space is a highlight! The deck and dock are both fantastic. We spent hours fishing, swimming, relaxing, and enjoying beautiful sunsets right from the dock. One thing to note: there are quite a few steps on the property—from the driveway to the house, and from the house down to the dock. We had older parents with us, so we had to take extra care. All in all, a great rental—we’d be happy to stay here again! ##### Brian C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### David P., Midlothian, Virginia 10 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Work Hub Working at the local nuclear plant with a crew.

Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristian R. 3 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Nice location Located on the quiet side of the lake which was nice. The property is a little dated, with some parts needing some work - bathrooms, drawers, dock. But overall we had a very pleasant experience - would highly recommend for the size, location, and ability to comfortably accommodate two families. ##### Kristian R. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Janet S. 15 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend getaway Our friends have been getting away once a year for the past 20 years and your home provided us with a relaxing and cozy home on the lake with beautiful views. There were some minor issues with breakers needing to be reset several times (primarily for the kitchen) and the breakers in the breaker box (behind the downstairs refrigerator) were not labeled. The ping pong paddles need replacing as well as light bulbs in the kitchen and bedrooms. The toilet paper holder in the upstairs bathroom is also in repair. We let the property manager know who quickly responded. The kitchen is in need of hand towels and pot holders. Plenty of plates, bowls, etc. None of these needs negatively impacted our stay. Overall, a very lovely home on the lake and we would definitely want to come back again in the future. ##### Janet S. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tara P. 8 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Lake House; Some Issues Pros first - We loved the decks, sitting outside, and the dock. The dock is brand new, big, and has deep enough water on one end for kids to jump and dive. We second the recommendation to bring a 10x10 tent to provide shade during the day. Paddleboards and canoe were great. Living space was large and open. Check in was easy, linens and bath towels were provided, and the house was clean. Cons - You absolutely cannot do laundry due to iron in the water. Laundry will be stained; in fact, our skin was actually stained orange within a few days from the showers. Bring your own water for coffee, drinking, etc… Several items in the house were not in good condition. Grill was broken and did not have grill cleaning equipment. Dartboard had no functional darts. Kitchen chairs and table were wobbly - we actually had tools and repaired them ourselves. Lighting above the table was very dim and we needed to use extension cords to move lamps in order to play games at night. Vacasa was notified about the grill and the iron in the water. We were told that the grill would be repaired on Day 2 but no one showed up all week. We actually repaired it ourselves. Vacasa was also notified mid-week about the iron changing the color of our skin. They told us that they knew about the problem, that it was “not harmful”, and that they “work on it in between guests”. I don’t believe it’s harmful, but it is disturbing that everyone’s feet and nails were stained orange for an unknown length of time. Vacasa’ ##### Tara P.

Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chelsea W. 14 Apr 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Great view, but house needs updating The view and location were the best things about our stay. It was unfortunate to see that the house did not look like the pictures posted online, as it is not well updated or taken care of. Upon our arrival we noticed peanut butter on the dinning room table, hair in the toilet, dirty coffee mugs, patched up holes with different color paint, a sticky downstairs floor, missing towel holders and an unsafe and loose banister near the stairs. The pictures should really be updated to show the current state of the house. I’d also suggest getting a new maid service. For the cost of this house, we were disappointed. You are really only paying for the view. ##### Chelsea W.

Well stocked kitchen, good wifi, nice location, not many steps to the dock. A suggestion: please clean gutters, some deck is getting rotten where water runs down. Also sweep steps and decks once in a while, they get slippery with wet leaves. We had a wonderful, memorable time! ##### Amy S.

We loved all the various decks, the screen porch, the canoe and dock and paddle boards and flotation devices. The Pac-Man machine was fun and ping-pong is always a winner we love the vaulted ceilings in every room. We would certainly rent this house again and loved Lake Anna. There was a very good boat rental just a mile away at the cove called shipwreck boat rentals and we rented up pontoon boat on two different days having a ton of fun exploring the lake . ##### Albert M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn C. 29 Jun 2024 #### Summer Kickoff Trip Our family was excited to take a trip to the lake with grandma, aunt and cousins to kick off the summer! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the lake and the house. We spent most of our time on the lake and there were plenty of activities available both indoors and outdoors. The host provides equipment to enjoy in the water if you don't want to worry about bringing your own. That being said, I would highly recommend bringing a pop up tent to provide shade on the dock come the afternoon. The kids enjoyed time on the decks and playing ping pong and Pac Man to get a break from the heat and sun. We spent time around the fire pit every night to end our days. While some amenities are outdated, the house was comfortable and you are definitely paying for the lakefront and beautiful location amongst the trees. The only other recommendations I would provide are to bring plenty of drinking water due to the taste and to not use the washer due to the possibility of rust stains from the water. ##### Dawn C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Christie K. 6 Jun 2024 #### Great Location Although this property is on the public side of the lake, the location was quiet and ideal, minutes from the Cove by boat or car. The property itself is a little dated, with some updates needed. However, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed the views and amenities thoroughly. We would highly recommend this property due to the location, amenities and size. ##### Christie K. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jene H. 18 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Retirement / Mother's Day Celebration This home has everything you could possibly need for a long weekend away, It is peaceful and has beautiful views. We spent the long weekend kayaking and canoeing. Evenings were spent around the large dining room table then relaxing on the dock,deck, or fire pit! The home is situated in a very quiet neighborhood with beautiful homes and gardens. We gave this a 5 rating however we wanted to rate it as a 4.5 due to the need for a through cleaning of the outside living areas, mostly the screened in porch. We did a light cleaning of the porch and were still able to enjoy the gas fireplace on the day the weather was questionable. We highly recommend the Life Is Good Lake House and would be happy to return for future getaways! Proximity to was a plus for us as we are from Maryland and our adult children reside in Richmond. PS - the dogs loved watching all the herons and one even paddle boarded for the first time! ##### Jene H.

Great location and even though deck has issues they are working to address, it never stopped us from having a good time. We rented a boat for the week from Shipwreck rentals which was very close and just spent the perfect week with the whole family relaxing, swimming off the dock and off the boat, and enjoying the quiet through the week. ##### Jay S. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dana D. 26 Jul 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Lake Trip Great location and I am sure hosts! Thx. Small ants in the kitchen and large carpenter ants in upstairs bathroom and bedroom/bed. Hairs on sheets under covers in lower bunk room. Cobwebs inside and out on decks and porches. Biggest issue is safety for kids and pets. Inside upper floor stair rails too wide. Even worse the upper deck rails are too wide. Neither would pass code today. This is really an issue that should be addressed unless restricting property to adults and no young children or pets. Minor, checking out instructions in house say leave linens and online they say try to start a load of laundry (which we have never heard of on a rental property). Great trip overall, comments are for improvement for future guests. ##### Dana D. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris W. 25 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lake house Great location and living areas are great for group. Deck needs significant repair since a column has sunk. Outdoor furniture could be replaced and kitchen could use more utensils. Had to buy plastic spatula while we were there. Would def stay again but updates could make this place special. ##### Chris W.

The only problem was lots of spiders and cobwebs but nothing terrible. We had lots of fun ##### Nichole K.

Location is excellent, enjoyed the outdoor fit pit and dock area of home! The space of house is nice an open. The interior could definitely use a make over and update of flooring! Age of home shows but overall it was accommodating to our needs! Cleanliness overall was ok. Lots of spiderwebs and bugs but considering your in the woods we could over look some of it! Again views a spectacular and for a long weekend we would return! ##### Tiffany P.
